Actually, I'm seriously considering the laser eye surgery option instead (one of my new year resolutions). I hate wearing glasses period. Too much trouble. Contact lenses are even worse.Lord Revan wrote:I'll give you a hint, if you don't like look with glasses you'll need to get a new pair. When you got a right kind glasses people won't even notice them it just seem so natural (and just for the record, I have had glasses since I was 14 (I'm 22 now) and had very poor self esteem back then.)Robert Walper wrote:I did take my glasses off for that photo (I think I've taken them off for every photo for SDN. I don't like the way they make me look).

I new picture I plan to have fun with:
Nothing particularily interesting about this picture. The only note being, I sent it to my brother who has some good graphical skills. I asked him to play around with it, make the eyes red, "evilize" the image as I put it. So keep your eyes peeled for the edited version (for those who care )

Good editing on the photo. Not sure, though, whether it was a good move to sharpen it that much Your left ear got "pixelated", and your hair's blurry... Though a hood and your face darkened would resolve it , very nice touch darkening the photo overall and getting your eyes red.

Actually, I have a question about your editing of the photo, xBlackFlash. His neck, is it part of the copy-paste or did you reddened it? I can't tell which...
Oh well, now to go back to watch Elheru's self-portrait and wonder whether he's bored or thinking over about something...

It wasn't that much reddened. It's the same red-tone than the one used in the face which I'm asking about. I'm just curious whether it's a part of the new layer or if she coloured the neck. If the latter, then my congrats on getting a perfect match *Thumb up*

I reddened it, but it really isnt hard. I used photoshop, and once you have a certain bit selected (in this case his neck) you can adjust the color balance, so its only a matter of moving a slider and eyeballing the color for a match.Dead_Ghost wrote:It wasn't that much reddened.

Pointless to ask whether you realize that the choice for the neck's red matches completely the red in the face, right?xBlackFlash wrote:I reddened it, but it really isnt hard.

Maybe not hard for you, but for a layman like me ...

Well, I sort'of guessed bored only because of the background , but your pose had this "serious" feeling that got me off my first guess ...Elheru Aran wrote:Mostly bored. Why do you think I took the picture, huh?
